Mom Appreciation Box - Craft Klatch Mother's Day Series

This is an easy craft to make for Mom, so kids and Dads can totally rock this DIY!

You will need:

Unfinished box

Flower stencil

Stencil brush

Pink, green, white and black acrylic paint

Round magnet

Glue

Floral stone

Skewer stick

Here is the video tutorial:

Directions:

Buy an unfinished box at a craft store. Paint it with magnetic paint. You can use either the spray paint or brush on. I did the brush on. It is very important to shake your paint before using, or stir if you are using the brush on. I did two coats on the top of the lid and inside the lid. You can do three, if you want. Allow to dry.

Paint the box any color, I used a light green - again I did two coats. Allow to dry.

Stencil a flower on top of the box, I used pink, with a white center.

I then took a skewer stick and did little black polka dots along the outside edge of the flower.

I did pink and black polka dots along the edge of the lid.

I stenciled MOM on the side of the box with pink and added black polka dots.

I took a white floral stone and glued it to a magnet. That is the signal. If the stone is on top, Mom knows there is a note in the box. When she reads the note, she puts the stone back in the box. That way, she doesn’t have to keep checking to see if there is a note in the box.

Another fun idea would be to use clear stones and with pictures of the kids' faces, or dad's face. That way, the person who put a note in the box can select their picture, and put it in the middle of the flower, so Mom knows who put it in there.
